Summary

In "The Nuts of Knowledge: Lyrical Poems Old and New," George William Russell, who wrote under the pseudonym A.E., presents a captivating collection of lyrical poetry that intertwines the spiritual, mystical, and terrestrial realms. His unique literary style, enriched by a blend of romantic imagism and a distinctly Irish sensibility, invites readers on a profound journey through the landscapes of the soul. The poems are characterized by their vivid imagery and lyrical cadence, exploring themes of wisdom, nature, and the search for eternal truths amidst the temporal experiences of life. Russell, a pivotal figure in the Irish Renaissance, was deeply influenced by the cultural and political currents of his time, which inspired his writings to reflect a deep yearning for spiritual enlightenment and a connectedness to nature. As an artist, mystic, and a staunch advocate for Ireland's cultural identity, his work often seeks to bridge the gap between the material and the mystical, revealing his own philosophical pursuits through art and literature. This collection is highly recommended for readers who appreciate poetry that resonates with emotional depth and spiritual inquiry. "The Nuts of Knowledge" not only showcases Russell's lyrical prowess but also provides invaluable insights into the human condition, making it a timeless addition to the repertoire of anyone passionate about the intersections of poetry, spirituality, and heritage.

    'If a young woman made you smile, you wouldnae want to see her set on fire, would you?'
    Katherine Hamilton is a nineteen-year-old woman facing arrest and trial in the King's court, with only her quick wit as defence against execution.
    James V: Katherine is a dramatic interpretation of key events during a turbulent time in Scotland's history, events that changed the nation forever. It is also a play filled with hidden histories, deft comedy and a secret love story between two young women.
    Rona Munro's renowned James Plays are a breathtaking series of plays set during the reigns of Scotland's generations of Stewart kings. Each play stands alone as a thrilling depiction of a moment in Scottish history, full of playful wit and boisterous theatricality; taken together, the cycle is a uniquely compelling narrative of a nation tussling with its past and future.
    James V: Katherine was first staged at Capital Theatres' The Studio, in April 2024, directed by Orla O'Loughlin, before embarking on a Scottish tour. It was a co-production between Raw Material and Capital Theatres, who previously produced James IV: Queen of the Fight.
    Rona Munro is a writer who has written extensively for stage, radio, film and television. Earlier works in the James Plays cycle (I–III) have been performed at the National Theatre in London, across the UK and internationally, and have won Evening Standard and Writers' Guild of Great Britain Awards.

    A memoir made of poetry, Dress Rehearsals documents a decade of performing womanhood in a non-binary body. 
    Dress Rehearsals is a raw and beautiful exploration of what it means to be feminine. Beginning with teenage yearning, these poems both celebrate and grieve Madison's sexual awakening as they transition into the glittering femme fatale. 
    Navigating first love, menstruation, chronic illness, sex and patriarchal power dynamics, Dress Rehearsals is a coming-of-age story that has never been told - a decade of performing womanhood in an elaborate and shifting costume.  
    This collection is a unique and transformative experience and, with its careful balance of dark humour and warmth, a queer celebration of gender.

    The story Charles Dickens might have written after drinking too much gin…
    Follow half-orphan Pip's extraordinary exploits with sisters Pippa and Poppy and best friend Harry Biscuit, as they attempt to escape the calculating clutches of the dastardly Mr Gently Benevolent, defeat the hideous Hardthrasher siblings, and deflect disaster at every turn! Will evil be vanquished by virtue? Can love triumph over hate?
    Mark Evans' stage play Bleak Expectations is a hilarious, chaotic caper, featuring dastardly villains, preposterous names, pulse-quickening romances, heart-rending death scenes, and definitely, probably, hopefully a happy ending.
    Based on the award-winning BBC Radio 4 series, the play opened at The Watermill Theatre, Newbury, in 2022, directed by Caroline Leslie. It transferred to the Criterion Theatre in London's West End in 2023, where it featured a medley of many well-known actors and comedians.
    It offers rich opportunities to amateur theatre companies looking for a gloriously daft Dickensian romp which will have their audiences joyfully transported and begging for more.
